Exclusive: Microsoft Speaks on Xbox 360, HD DVD Player

In an exclusive interview with GamePro, a Microsoft hardware manager speaks on the advantages of the company's strategy with the Xbox 360 and HD DVD Player, as well as Sony's weaknesses with the PlayStation 3.

What an arshole Sony is, scared of 360 you can tell, all they are doing is lie about the things the PS3 should have and 360 has a DVD drive which for gaming is more then enough but Sony wants to push it's new format just to fill it's pockets.

but ofcourse they would say good things about the 360, the reason they didnt announce it yet is that it would cost maybe $250-$350 for the hd-dvd and they are not including a hdmi port for some reason, it seems microsoft rushes on hardware...like they say that hdmi is not finalised yet and one of the ps3 skus dont have one, that shows they are rushing it and they would probably release one later on with hdmi so i would wait.

live alone and i have a 3 bedroom house i pay my bills which are £170 on top of the t.v license, i have a 24mb wirless network at home, i work as free lance video editor and i have 1 laptop mac and one pc, i also have a ps2 and a gamecube.

call that poor if u want i am doing well for my self and i am only 18, i earn £750 a week and i only work when i want and how long i want, i get projects and i have a deadline, i usalyy edit up adverts within a week before its deadline, so don't call me poor, i just like to wait for things to get finalised.

i dont like spending alot of money on new consoles, i have a good pc and games like WOW to keep me busy so i can wait till price drops and better games, ur a boy not a real man achira u live with mommy and daddy and they can buy u all the sh!t u want, that doesnt make them rich just want u to stop wining. and SEER knows what i am talking about i have consumer sense.

and i do think getting a car for £400($800) is worth it and i will get a ps3 later on.

The problem is more about the plasmas and such having lousy scalers, because the stupid manufactures decided to use 1366x768 which is a non standard video resolution for HD. If you have a 1280x720 or 1920x1080 display you'll get a pretty good picture with the XBOX 360 set natively. Plus 1080p is only on HDMI.
